TESCO CONTINUES TO have the largest share of the Irish grocery market but its competitors have closed the gap over the past year.
Supermarket figures from consumer researcher Kantar Worldpanel show that, in the 12 weeks until the end of May, Tesco had a market share of 26.3%.
It’s nearest rival is SuperValu took in 24.8% of the total consumer spend, a figure that includes both SuperValu stores and Superquinn outlets.
Dunnes Stores has 21.4% of the grocery market but is the only one of the three to grow its share compared to last year, building it by by 0.7%.
Tesco’s market share is down by 4.7% on 2013, largely as a result of the continued growth of discount outlets.
Aldi and Lidl have both maintained their impressive double digit growth at 21.6% and 13.2% respectively. Aldi’s record share of 8% is held from last month while Lidl has reached a new record high of 7.9%.
Price inflation in the grocery market stands at 2.6% and remains in line with earlier price rises.
“This has increased the amount shoppers are spending at the tills and has kept the grocery market in growth,” says Kantar’s David Berry.

You’d like to say ..”mmm, X is the best of a bad bunch”…..but looking at this list it’s just a ‘bad bunch’ full stop. Anyone but Pretti Patel though
Not as bad as Vance who “did not have sexual relations with that sofa”!!!! #MadamPresident2024
Their most “centrist” candidate wants to leave the Convention on Human Rights!!! Says it all really, these Radical Right have a disdain for human rights and people have abandoned them in their droves. Labour will be in power for decades.
@9QRixo8H: Had a chuckle when I read that. The most pro-Israeli of a pro-Israeli gang is also their most ‘centrist candidate’.
@9QRixo8H: Indeed. I see that British people still don’t understand that their own politicians signed the Lisbon Treaty only on condition that they could add their own amendment. That UK amendment opted Britain out of the International charter of human rights. They’ve left it to their rulers for way too long and that’s an example of how their rulers got away with dismissing the principles of human rights. I don’t think enough people saw that at the time – tabloids assured them all that their politicians knew exactly what they were doing. Unfortunately, this was true. And British people were deported out of the blue because of that disregard.
Some day they’ve got to do better by their voters.
Would like to see British Patel as leader as she would accelerate the demise of what’s left of the despicable Tory party.
@James Leahy: True James……guess you’d have to counter -balance that with her utter disdain & contempt for Ireland/ anything Irish
@Buster Lawless: was she the one who said we should starve the Irish at one stage.No concept of history and not much between the ears either.
@James Leahy: Don’t overestimate the British voter. The Tories will be back in power soon enough. It’s quite the conservative country.
They deserve all the disarray they can muster up and more,pity auld thatcher isn’t around to see it.
Thoughts with those and their loved ones in Southport. The headline below needs changing. To ‘kill’ means to make someone or something die. ‘Murder’ refers to the crime of deliberately causing someone’s death.
A Dribble of Deplorables
We think our shower are bad!!!
